According to a statement issued by the Forum made available to Reformeronline, the online Publishers in Delta State said that this year’s celebration with the theme: “Give to Gain: Empowering Women through Digital Storytelling” will align with the global theme “Give To Gain”, with the message “When we give, we gain.”
The Forum disclosed that the campaign promotes a culture of generosity, collaboration, and intentional support for the advancement of women and girls.
The statement signed by Mrs. Josephine Omodior, Secretary, DOPF Committee for the 2026 International Women’s Day Celebration added, “the campaign encourages individuals, organisations, and communities to contribute through donations, mentorship, knowledge-sharing, advocacy, visibility, and capacity building.
“The Give To Gain initiative highlights the importance of giving from the heart. Such acts create positive rippling effects that strengthen families, communities, and society at large.
“The 2026 International Women’s Day celebration will focus on key priorities including empowering women, supporting women-focused non-profit organisations, amplifying the visibility of initiatives that advance women’s rights and empowerment, challenging stereotypes, discrimination, and gender bias.”
DOPF further observed that International Women’s Day is increasingly becoming one of the world’s biggest giving platforms, providing opportunities to support organisations working to improve the lives of women and girls.
The Forum further disclosed, “as part of the celebration, the forum will host a “Give To Gain” Impact Conference, recognise outstanding women and non-profit organisations, and carry out media advocacy campaigns across Delta-based digital platforms. The programme will also feature public engagement initiatives aimed at encouraging greater support for women-focused causes and collaboration with grassroots organisations and girl-child advocacy groups.”
The forum emphasized that the involvement of government institutions, community leaders, civil society organisations, and development partners will be vital in amplifying the impact of the campaign.
DOPF noted that broader participation will inspire more Deltans to embrace a culture of giving and support the advancement of women and girls. When women rise, society rises.
